From what I remember, someone has to vouch for you. (?) You need to know someone, to join. I thought about asking to be admitted, but it's sort of setting yourself up for rejection, too, so I didn't.

I almost asked about that, but I couldn't remember the name. I had a really informative week, and I watched most of the new season of Fargo. I'm currently trying to make vegan kimchi (no fish sauce, nothing seafood-like in there), but I cut myself.

We've reached that time, when we're suddenly zooming towards Spring, and I need to prepare if I want to grow anything this year. I received my Berlin Seeds catalogue, a month ago, and meant to make a list, but then we had freezing weather, and I stopped thinking about being outside. In a couple of weeks, I need to buy things like tomato seeds, and the kind woman at the store will be shocked that I'm buying them so late, as she usually is. She'll say that I need to get them started soon. Last year, I started seeds, even though I wasn't feeling up to it, and then they died when I put them outside for air and sunshine, and forgot about them (right around my birthday). But a few things I tried to start again, suddenly started to grow in June, and Bitter Melon (my "fun new thing to try growing" took over part of my garden - it has spines, and I was stung a lot, trying to harvest it, so I never used it).

The sun finally came out here, on Thursday. I don't like it when it's glaring in my eyes, but I did miss it. We had a long set of foggy days, and it seemed like it was never going to go away. We're having Spring-like weather now.

I was shocked when she left him outside the apartment, as punishment. Not in a bedroom, but outside their home, even if he didn’t run off.

Was Essie still with them, after he went missing? I can’t remember. She seemed envious of the relationship between Essie and Gus - Essie was over-stepping a bit, acting like his mother, laughing at him disobeying his mum. My first thought was that she had taken him, but where would she hide him?

I don’t know why mercy would be expected to pay for their dinner, when she’s on a job trial. Why would she be expected to pay for a family’s meal? so, he was stolen, he isn’t dead? I hope.

“I should be paying her extra, for giving me my wife back. That used to be you lying in there.” Um.. Why wasn’t he lying in there, too? He was responsible for bringing that third child into the world, too.

I recognized Nicole.

I grew up with fresh cream doughnuts, and really miss them. I haven't found anything like them here.

I think we had it for a month, but that was in the Spring of 2019. We had it for New Year's 2020, but I can't remember for how long in December. I just click the "OK" button, and it brings it back to full screen.

I thought it was just my London-area accent, but I lived in the same areas as my mum. Sunday morning, my dad was waiting to get into the warehouse, and texted me, asking what "crikey" meant. he was listening to British people on the radio, and he couldn't remember. Auto-correct replaced it with "Cricket" so I told him that was a really dull game. He then sent me the correct word. Crikey, is like a small "wtf". Like blimey. It amused me, after I'd been in this thread, and seen the posts about "chuffed".

What? It's been nominated for big awards, and someone I follow, said it's her favourite of the year. I started to watch it, but didn't get very far, because I was too tired. I've seen others just add a trailer, so I thought that was okay.

That sounds like that show, Les revenants/The Returned.

I don't know why we say it that way. I still do, and dad says a-loo-mi-num. We do spell it that way (with an extra "i"). haha, I say "whilst", too. Someone used to take the mickey out of my "wot". My mum would also jokingly say, W. O. T. WOT. I had to look up the origin of taking the mick:

My dad has been driving in it. Even without a full day of deliveries, he was gone all day, because he was being careful. I worry more now, and so does he. We've been very lucky, and haven't lost power at home, all week.

I've had a knee problem, since I was a kid. A doctor said that I would grow out of it, but I didn't. It starts with pain in the knee, moves down the back of my calves, into the back of my ankle, my foot, and up my inner thigh. It's hurting right now, but just mildly. I was having joint problems in the cold, starting in 2019, but I've been using collagen a lot (adding it to hot chocolate), so that might be helping.

I liked it. Although someone mentioned that poor wolf was still alive, as it was gutted? 😩 I wouldn’t survive in a place that remote. Are we supposed to connect these happenings to the story that the grandmother was telling the policeman’s child?

The ending seemed familiar. I don't like that the little girl lost both of her parents. I did like them conning the family, getting them on video, and a live broadcast. I guess I should have been expecting a shock ending. Once she confessed to killing her husband, they weren't just going to let her go free. I was also glad the detective survived, and got to see his child grow up.

I like Maggie. I’m only a couple of episodes in, but Joel assumed she was a hooker, then a stewardess (not a pilot), and just made a comment about her walking all over her boyfriend, in her heels. I watched this when I was fifteen. I only remember Joel, Maggie, and Marilyn. I had forgotten Ed, Chris, and everyone else, but I really like Ed. The age gap between Shelley and holling, is gross, and that she was flown up to marry Maurice.

I feel like Alicia was “the cool girl” described in the movie “gone girl” for most of the series. And this series supposedly showing a strong, independent woman, came down to her choosing between two men: her husband, or Jason - or waiting for Jason to choose her. That was only because Will wasn’t alive. Also, undercutting the husband of a partner and friend, and exposing an affair, and having the wife take it out on her, instead of the husband. Anyone who has seen the good fight, knows how that ends. so, I didn’t enjoy her getting slapped around the face. That should have been her husband, receiving that slap. As much as I got tired of alicia, I’m just as tired of women being punished for the actions of a man.

She may have joined an MLM. Or trying to be an influencer. I'm thinking about moving the professional accounts I follow, to an account that I rarely use, and keeping my own for just my friends. I'm tired of people trying to sell me something, every damned day. They get things for free, or at a big discount, to sell them to us. A lot of them are taking big vacations, several times a year, living in luxury homes, etc, and we are just trying to get by. Maybe I'd be less annoyed, if I could make money shilling things on social media. I do need the money, and who wouldn't want to be financially set? But I want to know what people really do like, and not what they've been paid to tell me they like. We heard one go off, as soon as we got home from the store, around 7pm, and I swore loudly. They started again at midnight. My dog was more relaxed in general, until they started them up again.

I'm a week late with this, but I've just heard it for the first time.
